Archeryaddict - Got the cure for the common outdoor sports. Uncommon outdoor sports! Ever been to Remington country? I live 20 miles from the plant where they make the finest firearms in the country. We don't use Gregorian calendars here; we use Remintorian...

January aka coyote season
February aka ice fishing for muskies season
March aka indoor rim fire season
April aka trout season
May aka spring turkey, aka Black Fly season
June - July - August aka BASS (need I say more?)
September aka Canada geese/duck season
October aka Fall turkey season, aka early archery whitetail, aka early muzzleloader season
early November aka Whitetail (north)season
mid November - mid-December aka shotgun season
mid December - December 22 aka late muzzleloader season
December 23 - December 31 aka Hey, we ain't fanatics ya know. We's got families!

Used to shoot a 70# recurve. I just don't have the pipes to pull it and hold it anymore. I have a 32" draw and, years ago, I got tired of looking for a compound that drew far enough. Now my buddy bow hunts for whitetail while I hunt fall turkey. I am the resident eviscerater and he pays for all the propane for camp. I'd say that's a fair deal.

My husband and daughter are both avid bow hunters. We just bought my daughter a new bow. They also hunt turkey and grouse. Husband has his sights on black bear next. He is another thing they do (which I know might offend some people) they both trap. This year they got a coyote, 5 grey foxes.
Both used to 3D shoot but don't much anymore. I bought my husband a 3D deer couple years back and they shoot at it during the summer to get ready for season.

Hey graceb2u, If your hubby ever needs help wetting a line in the Unadilla give me a shout. Maybe we can get archeryaddict to come up all the way from ChattanOOOOOOOOOOga and help us with the coyote situation. You guys trap 'em, AA can stick 'em and I'll shoot what's left.

I enjoy several areas of archery. I have a couple of High country Bows (That is what most have in our area) One is an older Supreme that is Black and Silver. It is used for 3-D and Dot shooting. Unfortunately most of the different shoots in this area have stopped. THe others are on Sunday. I have a hunting bow as well. I also build Long Bows. Most of the time they are built from Osage and backed with Deer Sinew. I am currently building one that is made of a beautiful wood called "purpleheart" (It really is purple) and I am backing it with Bamboo. I am trying to experiment with a take down bow that will be set up for Bow fishing. In Kentucky we have about 5 months of Bow season, so serious hunters use more than just a rifle.
By the way, Archery Addict, I noticed you are from CHattanooga. I lived there for 10 years while At TTU.

What's that wild pig taste like? Is it a lot leaner than farm raised? Can you lay it up in the smoker? You are eat 'em aren't you?

Su Wei,

We have a saying around here. There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Wear the right clothes for the job and you can stay out all day. About catch and release: are you concerned about the ethical treatment of the fish or someone spending hours fishing and going home empty-handed on purpose?

PSE is a brand of compound bow. I am very happy with mine, its a real joy to shoot. I shot recurve bows for years but was never a good enough shot to carry one in the woods. With a modern compound anyone can learn to shoot a bow.

I have killed several wild pigs (just one with the bow). I love them. Like any other game animal taste depends on several factors. Their age and diet play a part as well as getting a quick kill and cooling the meat off quickly. I try to pick out a sow that has not had a litter yet and has been hanging out around grain crops. They have a great sweet taste that I prefer to farm raised pigs. I like to grill the chops and smoke the hams to make pulled barbeque. The ribs are ok but the side meat is a lot of trouble. Now if you kill an old boar who has been living deep in a swamp, you will be better off just making sausage.

I remember talking with an American missionary couple and i was so intrigued at the thought that they actually hunt moose to eat (over a loooong period of time). The only meat we get for cooking and eating is in the supermarket.
